I’ve gone back to polish up the Lair of Grievous/Massacre episode. For those of you who don’t know, I combined those two - now, Ventress leaks the location of Grievous’ lair to the Jedi, as a way of getting back at Dooku and his war, which then causes Grievous to directly seek the massacre of Dathomir. It means the weaker Grievous’ lair content has a better purpose, and it makes the massacre of the Nightsisters more personal for Grievous, and a bigger source of guilt for Ventress.

It worked OK before, but the dialogue to bridge the two was quite stilted, with both plots being referenced kind of out of order. Now, via polish and some AI lines, it’s much smoother.

At first, Grievous is dealing with the Jedi, then gets a call from Dooku:
“I understand the Jedi have infiltrated your lair. My former assassin has gone too far. The nightsister cult can no longer be tolerated; mobilise your fleet, and deal with the Jedi - quickly.” - so, he’s tied the plots together more, but still got Grievous focused on the Jedi for now.

Then, after Grievous fends off the Jedi:
“Count Dooku, the Jedi have been defeated.”
“Victory over the clones and the young Jedi was expected. I have learned Ventress has returned to Dathomir. Go there, and wipe the witches out.”
“The time to exact vengeance has arrived. Raaaargh.”

Then, to pad the scenes between Grievous in his lair and his arrival on Dathomir, I’ve added more Dathomir establishing shots, but first, reintroduced the scene of Kit Fisto reporting back to the Jedi temple - but with modified dialogue from Yoda to tie in to the new episode’s overall plot.
“What of your former padawan?”
“His heart was in the right place, but he tried to answer Grievous’ power with his own.”
“To answer power with power, the Jedi way, this is not. When we fight, a danger there is, of making new enemies.”

I’ve still got some work to do, but it should be ready in a few days.
